Emcee Dad.E

Today Paul did his best Borscht Belt shtick in front of thousands of people at Pioneer Courthouse Square...and he didn't get arrested! He was the emcee at his company's Volunteer Expo.

There were over 100 non-profit organizations in attendance promoting opportunities for people to get involved by volunteering. One group was the PHAME Academy, a performing arts organization for adults with developmental disabilities. They were the first performers of the day and Daddy did a great job introducing them. One guy did an absolutely kick-ass version of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold".

Daddy's best line of the day? "Today we all come together in a spirit of cooperation. For example, we have the Feral Cat coalition right across from Guide Dogs for the Blind."

As part of the volunteer promotion, Daddy was also interviewed about his favorite non-profit, and was able to take the opportunity to give a shout-out to the Northwest Down Syndrome Association!
